Mohammad Yunus, the interim head of the Bangladesh government, is changing the history of the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s family. Especially in the textbooks, the declaration of independence of Bangladesh is not Sheikh Hasina’s father, but Ziaur Rahman. Apart from these, many other changes have been made so that Sheikh Hasina’s family members do not appear in the text books. Now let us find out the full details.
The interim government of Bangladesh printed in the textbooks that Ziaur Rahman had declared independence on March 26, 1971, and a similar declaration had been issued by Jangabandhu Mujibur Rahman on March 27. Curriculum Text Book Board Professor AKM Riazul Hussain said this directly. In particular, Mujibur Rahman as “Father of the Nation” was mentioned in the textbooks.
Distribution of new books from 1st January
Also, many changes have been made in the textbooks of primary as well as secondary students. But Riyazul disclosed that the information related to this was given by the researcher Rakhal Raha. Rakhal Raha also spoke about the changes in the text books.. She revealed that there is no truth in the claim that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman made the declaration of independence through a wireless set while he was a captive of the Pakistan Army. He commented that all this is forced history. That is why they have made it clear that they have changed these. He also explained that the changed text books are being distributed to the students from January 1st.
Changes in the Declaration of Independence in favor of incumbents
The exchange of textbooks in Bangladesh has been going on for many years. Especially if there is a government in power, changes are being made in the matter of declaration of independence according to them. But people from Awami League party are said to have made this statement along with Mujibur Rahmeen and then Major Ziaur Rahman. It is argued that Ziaur’s statement was read especially on Mujib’s orders. But BNP is explaining that Ziaur himself made this statement.
